What do you get when you try to take a picture of a Chevrolet Cavalier with a Bike Rack. Apparently, the answer is a picture that's slightly skewed. This I believe 2001 or newer Cavalier has a bike roof rack on top with the Yakima fairing. You can probably safely ...

The Honda Insight definitely has distinctive looks, which some love but most hate. I'm not a big particular fan of the looks, but am a fan of the technology it uses and the fact that they will be releasing a better looking 2010 Honda Insight. So, how do you ...

When I posted about my homemade bicycle hoist I was living in a condominium. Pretty shortly, a couple of months after hanging it the home owners association wrote me a rather nasty letter telling me I was not allowed to hang anything off the roof above, or even store bikes ...

Volvo XC70 Bike Rack (Click to Enlarge)
The Volvo XC70 is truly a car that an outdoors person can appreciate. I've always like the Volvo tank's since I saw them rallying around a track. These beats are great, and can traverse a wide range of terrain while still remaining a good ...

I spotted this trunk mount bike rack on a VW Golf while leaving work. You can barely see it in the picture, although if you enlarge it you might be able to. Anyway, in busy traffic it was easy to catch up to it and snap a good picture. ...

Its been a while since I updated this site. Mostly because I have been buying a house. The news for me is that I no longer need my apartment storage (which I have yet to post about. I'll update this site once I have the pictures and plans up.) Other ...

Here I caught a picture on a rainy day of a trunk mount bike rack on a Saturn Ion. I was in rush hour traffic and couldn't get a close up picture, but if you enlarge it you should be able to see what a trunk mount will look ...

When the HHR first came out I really despised the looks of it. Now its been around for a while its some what grown on me. A friend of mine rented one when it first came out and said that everyone looked at him funny. I don't think that ...

Although not really a homemade bike rack plan I decided to post this in that category also since this could be made into a custom bike rack. What we have here is I believe is an older Chevrolet Silverado, a trailer, some sort of motor cycle and two road ...

One of the cars I was looking at before I decided what I wanted was a Saturn Vue. Bike rack options for the Saturn Vue are roof mount, hitch mount and some trunk mounts. The bike rack on this Saturn Vue is a roof mount for a single bike. ...

I remember taking this picture quite well as it was a challenge to get both cars in the picture. I remember seing the bike rack behind me and trying to figure out how I could take the picture. As I looked in my side mirror I saw the cabriolet pass, ...

I've found a couple of mistakes that I've made in this blog, some of which are rather funny. Mostly typo's and such. The first I noticed was my horrible spelling. Any one who points out a spelling mistake to me gets some BikeRackEd Points. Another one, that I just saw ...

The picture to the left is somewhat like I imagined the pop up camper bike rack to be like. The way this differs is, its actually a fully functional roof rack system. Instead of attaching a bike rack to the hitch, or mounting right to the top of the ...

The Racor Freestanding Bike Rack truly is an amazing bike rack. As you can see from the image to the left this bike rack holds two bikes and as the name suggests is freestanding. This means that drilling holes in the wall to make sure your bikes don't fall over ...

I must admit that I have a bit of a thing for black vehicles. I don't know what it is, but some how they just seem to look better than the exact same vehicle in a different color. This Toyota Sequoia has a roof mounted bike rack and is a ...

I found this video by the wallstreet journal on decorative bike racks. Although I'm not quite sure how you only manage to ride 6 miles in one hour, they have some decent looking bike racks. I'm not sure how functional they are, since they don't look like they would accommodate ...

I saw a Ford Ranger bike rack about a month ago that really caught my eye. It was housed at an extended stay and I hadn't seen it every time I rode or drove past until last night. This post is about a custom Ford Ranger Bike Rack that was ...

What are cross bar adapters? Cross bar adapters are also known as crossbar adapters, frame adapters, suspension adapters and womens bike adapters. Often adapter is misspelled for the word "adaptor" making one believe that there are not very many "frame adaptors" on the market, when in fact there are a ...

The Honda Pilot really is a versatile car. Its personally not for me but this picture goes to show the capabilities of this car. The roof rack system on this Honda Pilot has easily enough room for four bikes. In my opinion the bars hang over the edge just ...

I took this picture a while back. Basically its an older Toyota Corolla with a roof mounted bike rack setup. I don't exactly know the year of this model but my guess would be 1980's or possibly very early 90's. Its quite a nice rack that should be able ...

It is no secret that bike racks that are purchased from retail stores are made as cheaply as possible so that there is more profit involved. What happens when products are made cheaply? Well, they fail. The same reason that thousands of toys and goods from all over the world ...
